[Utah-astronomy] Opinions please

Wayne, You misunderstand what I mean.  It isnt teaching a kid that makes it a job.  Its the "making them earn" the scope via instruction is what does it.  Honestly, when we give scopes away, there should be slas volunteers who would offer help in setting it up the first time.  I am really commenting on how we as people take something so simple and wonderful and make a complicated mess out of it.  Im on your side Wayne.  I love helping newbies get going.  Like you, it gives me a great sense of contribution to teach what astronomy can offer.
